Details of Event
This accident was due to a misunderstanding between a run-rider and a driver-boy. The former told the latter that he would go down to the pass-by and see if the load was ready and the return and signal for the train and it ran in. The driver had to signal for the train, and did so and it ran into where the deceased was when it was not expected and killed him.
